Ghazal:
Nasim-e-khak-e-arz-e-pak ki taseer badle ge
Ju ye badli tu phir halaat ki tasweer badle ge

Kaha tum ne, "mile ge na tumhai.N manzil kabhi apni!"
Badal de zaaicha pandit, meri taqdeer badle ge!

Tere rahoo.N ko tere khaab ki tabeer ne badla
Mere rahoo.N ko mere khaab ki tabeer badle ge

Kabhi tu bulbulai.N hoo.N ge chaman mai.N naghma Khaa.N Ya rab
Kabhi tu haalat-e-sad naala-e-shab gir badle ge!

Kabhi ham bhi zamane ki nazar mai.N mutabir hoo.N Ge
Hate Ge Gard-e-Aaina, Kabhi tasweer badle ge!

Chaman khil Jaee.N Ge zindaaniyoo.N ke waste her ja
Khusha! zanjir-e-gul se pair ke zanjeer badle ge!

Jo pinhaa.N khak mai.N hai.N soortai.N hoo.N gi numaayaa.N wo
Shaguft-e-gul se arz-e-paak ki taqdeer badle Ge!
